Laremy Tunsil reportedly aims to be the NFL’s top-paid offensive tackle
In fact, Tunsil wants to be the highest paid offensive tackle in the league, and he plans to renegotiate his contract in the offseason to reflect that.
“I don’t know who’s the highest right now, maybe Trent [Williams] at $23 [million], but I want to top that,” Tunsil said. “Always want to reset the market. Perfect opportunity to reset the market. Everything is lining up as far as my contract to how I’m playing. Everything lining up perfectly.” Tunsil is in the last year of his three-year, $66 million contract. This season, the tackle’s $17.85 million salary for was converted into a $16.815 million signing bonus.
49ers’ Williams earns $23 million per season, though, making him the highest paid offensive lineman in the NFL. This number comes fromhe signed in March 2021. Tunsil is hoping to surpass this salary number when renegotiating his contract with the Texans in the offseason. As of now, Tunsil is set to earn $18.5 million as his base salary next season.
The fourth year Texan has produced good numbers on the field this season, as he ranks 12th best for tackles with a 92% pass win rate. He also only allowed one sack this season, which is tied for the second fewest allowed. He ranks third fewest in the league with 12 pressures allowed this season.
